Voyages pittoresques et romantiques dans l'ancienne France, Normandie: Rue du Gros Horloge, Rouen is a 1824 by Richard Parkes Bonington, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a busy street in a European city. Tall buildings line both sides, packed with windows and flags. At the end of the street stands a clock tower. People walk, talk, and gather in small groups—some hold papers, others carry bags. The title says this is a street in Rouen, France. The artist drew it while traveling through old French towns. Look up Romanticism to see how artists like this one used emotion and detail in their work.
Richard Parkes Bonington (25 October 1802 – 23 September 1828) was an English Romantic landscape painter.
